Bacopa (Bacopa)
Color Name: MegaCopa™ White
The best white Bacopa! A premiere companion plant that goes extremely well with a wide variety of plants, and trails gracefully down the sides of a basket or pot. This Bacopa is far superior to older ones, with large flowers double the size and greatly improved heat tolerance. It doesn't quit blooming when temperatures rise. It has a more compact habit so flowers are closer together and make a bigger show. Blooms repeatedly over the entire summer and into fall. Likes moist, peaty soil that is well drained; water before it dries out.
Growing Tips: Plant bacopa in a sunny or partially sunny location that's protected from drying winds. This plant suffers in dry soil so water every day when summer temperatures soar. If allowed to dry out, bacopa will stop blooming and it will take a week or two for it to send out a new crop of flowers. Requires consistently moist soil; do not let dry out between watering.
When planting in containers, hanging baskets and window boxes, we recommend using our potting soil which is specially formulated for our plants. An application of a time release fertilizer at the time of planting will help to ensure the best possible performance. Zehr's Osmocote blend is perfect for the job. We also suggest fertilizing every two weeks during the hot summer months of June, July and August with Maxsea, which you can purchase at Zehr's. Begonias, Impatiens and most plants grown for foliage normally do not need as much fertilizer.
